Early Morning Memories

I used to live in a house nearby
with walls made of wood
running through open doors
to tables filled with food

I used to live in my neighbour’s house
sleeping in imaginary rooms
with a boy called Bob by my side
he was gentle, he was mine

My garden had a thousand flowers
in colours you’ve never seen before
and my garden had the tallest trees
I climbed them more and more

I used to walk by the storming water
with a dog I called Steve
he was a real catcher
and I was a thief

I used to live by the cold cold water
far far away
I really don’t remember
when I left that day
